Description

We investigate the microscopic origin of ferromagnetism coupled with topological insulators in V-doped (Sb,Bi)$_{2}$Te$_{3}$ employing X-ray magnetic circular dichroism and angle-resolved two-photon photoemission spectroscopies, combined with first-principles calculations. We found an magnetic moment at the Te site anti-parallel to that of the V and Sb sites, which plays a key role in the ferromagnetic order. We ascribe it to the hybridization between Te 5{\it p} and V 3{\it d} majority spin states at the Fermi energy, consistent with the Zener-type {\it p}-{\it d} exchange interaction scenario. The substitution of Bi for Sb suppresses the bulk ferromagnetism by introducing extra electron carriers in the majority spin channel of the Te {\it p} states that compensates the antiparallel magnetic moment on the Te site. Our findings reveal important clues to designing magnetic topological insulators with higher Curie temperature that work under ambient conditions.
